How High We Go in the Dark<\/p>\n
By Sequoia Nagamatsu From the publisher: In 2030, a grieving archeologist arrives in the Arctic Circle to continue the work of his recently deceased daughter at the Batagaika Crater, where researchers are studying long-buried secrets now revealed in melting permafrost, including the perfectly preserved remains of a girl who appears to have died of an ancient virus.<\/p>\n Once unleashed, the Arctic plague will reshape life on Earth for generations to come, quickly traversing the globe, forcing humanity to devise a myriad of moving and inventive ways to embrace possibility in the face of tragedy.<\/p>\n From Revati, store manager: The description of this book as being dystopian and similar to \u201cCloud Atlas\u201d is correct but fails to convey how beautiful it is. The vignettes are so interesting, showing visions of a future plague that comes full circle. I did not expect to love it this much!<\/p>\n Our Moon<\/p>\n By Rebecca Boyle From the publisher: Many of us know that the Moon pulls on our oceans, driving the tides, but did you know that it smells like gunpowder? Or that it was essential to the development of science and religion? Acclaimed journalist Rebecca Boyle takes readers on a dazzling tour to reveal the intimate role that our 4.51-billion-year-old companion has played in our biological and cultural evolution.<\/p>\n Our Moon\u2019s gravity stabilized Earth\u2019s orbit\u2014and its climate. It drew nutrients to the surface of the primordial ocean, where they fostered the evolution of complex life. The Moon continues to influence animal migration and reproduction, plants\u2019 movements, and, possibly, the flow of the very blood in our veins.<\/p>\n From Julie, cleaner: Fascinating, well told, and a perfect read as we enjoy watching the stages of the Moon on warm summer evenings.<\/p>\n THIS WEEK\u2019S BOOK RECS COME FROM:<\/p>\n Old Firehouse Books<\/p>\n 232 Walnut St., Fort Collins<\/p>\n
